[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the length of the hypotenuse (c) in a right triangle with sides of length 12km and 16km, you can use the Pythagorean theorem:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

Plugging in the values:
c^2 = 12^2 + 16^2
c^2 = 144 + 256
c^2 = 400
c = √400
c = 20 km

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 20 kilometers.
